6/9/2023 0 Comments DillatimebookIn Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of James DeWitt Yancey, from his gifted childhood in Detroit, to his rise as a Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer, to the rare blood disease that caused his premature death and follows the people who kept him and his ideas alive. And at the core of this adulation is innovation: a new kind of musical time-feel that he created on a drum machine, but one that changed the way “traditional” musicians play. Yet since his death, J Dilla has become a demigod: revered by jazz musicians and rap icons from Robert Glasper to Kendrick Lamar memorialized in symphonies and taught at universities. He died at the age of thirty-two, and in his lifetime he never had a pop hit. He wasn’t known to mainstream audiences, even though he worked with renowned acts like D’Angelo and Erykah Badu and influenced the music of superstars like Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. Equal parts biography, musicology, and cultural history, Dilla Time chronicles the life and legacy of J Dilla, a musical genius who transformed the sound of popular music for the twenty-first century.

Your Cincinnati Resale and Consignment Center The notion of writing the book from the point of view of a dying Hadrian occurred to her after reading a sentence in a draft from 1937 stating: "I begin to discern the profile of my death." She then worked on various drafts intermittently between 19. Yourcenar first thought of the idea for the book between 19. This intrigued her for what she saw as parallels to her own post-war European world. Yourcenar noted in her postscript "Carnet de note" to the original edition, quoting Flaubert, that she had chosen Hadrian as the subject of the novel in part because he had lived at a time when the Roman gods were no longer believed in, but Christianity was not yet established. The emperor meditates on military triumphs, love of poetry and music, philosophy, and his passion for his lover Antinous, all in a manner similar to Gustave Flaubert's "melancholy of the antique world." The book takes the form of a letter to Hadrian's adoptive grandson and eventual successor "Mark" ( Marcus Aurelius). Although the historical Hadrian wrote an autobiography, it has been lost. First published in France in French in 1951 as Mémoires d'Hadrien, the book was an immediate success, meeting with enormous critical acclaim. Memoirs of Hadrian (French: Mémoires d'Hadrien) is a novel by the Belgian-born French writer Marguerite Yourcenar about the life and death of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. 6/8/2023 0 Comments North Pole by Anthony BrandtTheir mutiny so enraged Hall that he died of a stroke, and some of his crew escaped south on an ice-floe. The explorers included men like Elisha Kane, a sickly man and useless commander, who led his team close to death in 1854, and Charles Hall, a printer from Ohio who made the mistake of taking an experienced crew who refused to commit suicide for him. Anthony Brandt weaves together vivid accounts of the disasters that ensued. Beginning with the disappearance of Sir John Franklin in 1845, The North Pole documents the international efforts made to find the true Northernmost point of the globe. Drawing on the extensive archives of the National Geographic Society, The North Pole tells the story of race to the Pole through the memoirs, letters, ship's logs, and diary entries of the great Arctic explorers. "A few toes aren't much to give to achieve the Pole," observed Robert Peary, but as Anthony Brandt's gripping new anthology shows, much more was at risk for the men who tested the limits of endurance to reach the top of the world. In the original series, Lyra is a carefree 11-year old girl in Oxford, England, who’s suddenly pulled into a world of intrigue that pits her against the all-powerful Magisterium and sends her to the Arctic to rescue kidnapped children. The new book, "The Secret Commonwealth," picks up the story of Lyra Belacqua - now known as Lyra Silvertongue - from his earlier series "His Dark Materials." It’s the second book in Pullman’s new trilogy "The Book of Dust." The celebrated English author has just written a 630-page adventure story brimming with contentious ideas about religious tyranny, the loss of imagination and the nature of consciousness - all in a book that’s marketed to children.Īctually, Pullman doesn’t consider himself a children’s book author - "this is a marketing question, not about the way the books are written," he says - but he’s somehow managed to write a book that’s both a page-turner and a philosophical investigation into some of the deepest mysteries in science. Once again Philip Pullman has pulled off a remarkable high-wire act. 6/8/2023 0 Comments Suddenly by Rose ChristoShe also claimed at the time she was inbetween New York foster care homes. Christo made a very specific and unusual claim: that she remembered the exact date she had created XXXbloodyrists666XXX because it was her friend's birthday, and that that date was February 28, 2006. This is highly suggestive, but it's admittedly not hard proof. It says it's sent an email to that address. It will block you from registering, since there's already an account with that email. Try signing up on fictionpress with an email that's already taken. Tara, from June 2005 onwards, consistently used the email So if this really was a heretofore undiscovered account, it should have that email associated with it, right? The basic claim Rose Christo made was that in addition to XXXbloodyrists666XXX on, she had another account called xxxxblodyblaktearz666xxx. 6/8/2023 0 Comments Ramshackle Roost by Jane Flory“Are you waiting for someone?” He has no idea how big of a question that is.Ī 29-year-old teacher at a high school somewhere in the deserts of Southern California, Miss Stevens ( Lily Rabe) looks like a deer in the headlights and lives like she’s already been flattened. The usher is just trying to be polite, trying to understand why the crying blonde woman in the back row of his theatre is still in her seat long after the rest of the audience has cleared out and gone home. Those are the first words spoken in “ Miss Stevens,” the modestly scaled but characteristically strong directorial debut from “The Keeping Room” writer Julia Hart, and they bore into the rest of the film like a bad hangover. 6/7/2023 0 Comments S updikeSalman Rushdie famously said of him Somewhere in Las Vegas there’s probably a male prostitute called ‘John Updike’… He should stay in his parochial neighbourhood and write about wife-swapping, because it’s what he can do. Tom Wolfe, a man pretty well devoid of literary talent himself, called Updike and Mailer two piles of bones and those two and John Irving the Three Stooges. John Gardner likened his work to sermons and said that his work would die of fakery. Gore Vidal, justifiably, said that he had never taken him seriously as a writer and condemned him as a reactionary, two spot-on judgements. Critic James Wood described him as A writer of harmless, puffy lyricism, which puts it better than I could. This site has a few writers who, frankly, should not be here but are here because they have a reputation which well exceeds their literary abilities. 6/7/2023 0 Comments Space odyssey novelWe don't allow personal recommendation posts.
